It was stated a long time ago by many different people that Y2K would
instigate a redistribution of wealth. I suspect that is what really
lies at the bottom of the well. It's just money and power changing
hands. The New Powerfuls will be made and emerge unchallenged and
peace shall reign again. Common folk which includes "yuppies" are not
even noticed as large entities rather like teutonic plates build up
pressure and then release the energy bringing forth new lands, new
seas, and new mountains. That makes us all, one and all, explorers
with Columbus, in a ship out on the unchartered seas in search of a new
world silently within our chests while babbling spice trade routes.
It's only scary when the newly discovered shore line hasn't come into
sight and one is caught within the short cut of the volatile horn.

It will end in the greatest buying opportunity of this Once in a
Century (during the closing years of that Century) Infrastructure
Replacement Cycle. Folks, hang in there, especially if you are long
the companies that are associated with this Infrastructure
...Internet savvy companies, older line outfits nimble enough to Get
It. Remember, it's for the Grand children! LOL!

My Great
granndmother "accumulated (on dips) Telephone (before it was known as
Telephone) in the late 19th Century as it displaced the telegraph.
Original shares of Niagra Mohawk in the same time frame. Ditto
Brooklyn Union Gas. When my grandmother inherited the stocks, she
held. Periodicly they would split...in my Grandmother's phrase, "cut
a mellon." That was the Infrastructure change associated with the
closing years of the 19th Century...communications, new
electrification, and Utilities expansion from 225,000 to almost
3,000,000 people (Brooklyn Union Gas).

Don't miss
the boat folks...this one is for real!!

By the way, folks, I am not a Polly. I have Preps, food,
H2O, etc. Look, there were Depressions during those 19th Century
years. Just don't squander this opportunity.

K. Stevens:
Once again, you are mis-reading, or seriously misinterpreting,
history.

At that time, the US was a very prosperous nation, I believe already
on the gold standard, the FED was not even an evil twinkle in its
creators' eyes(formed 1913), and the US owed NO-ONE anything.

Look around you. See all the infrastructure falling apart?

It will take HUNDREDS of billions of dollars just to bring all the
roads, bridges, sewers, etc. up to the average level of the 1950's!

How will this be done when the US is so grossly in debt? Or, to
re-phrase, if this is indeed the NEW ERA, why is the savings rate
NEGATIVE, and why are the bridges not being repaired in these
"best-of-times".
A little thought will easily expose all the BIG LIES we have been
fed,even though many can see through them.
When I hear the stinking crap being spewed by TPTB, all I think of is
Hitler's famous quote..."The great majority of the people will more
easily fall victim to a BIG LIE than a small one."

Sadly, the late 19th Century only looks
prosperous from today's vantage point. The U.S. Government almost
defaulted on its Civil War debt and had to be rescued by Morgan and
Seligman in 1877. The country as a whole was deeply indebted to
Europe, a condition that was not remedied until World War I.

The
Depression of the 1890's was so desperate that only an upswing in
wheat prices in the Fall enabled McKinley to defeat Bryan of Cross of
Gold fame. The period has been preserved in Allegory, and EVERY child
has heard of The Wizard of OZ. The Cowardly Lion is Bryan, who lacked
the guts to really take on Wall Street. The wizard is McKinley, who
talked of the future, inclusion, BLAH BLAH but had no intention to
keep his promises to Dorothy. In the original, the slippers were
SILVER, NOT Ruby. The symbolism is apt.

No matter what the
difficulties, you will be cheating your Grand children if you miss
this once in a century Infrastructure Shift.

GATA Chairman Bill Murphy tonight sent this dispatch to his
subscribers at www.lemetropolecafe.com and asked me to send it to you
because it is of general interest.

GATA is calling all friends of gold to their battle stations for a
special announcement at 7:50 a.m. Central Daylight Time this Sunday
-- tomorrow. This is going to be war, and we're going to win it.

Please post this as seems useful.

GOLD PRODUCERS ARE DIVIDED BUT OUR 2 HEROES ARE EFFECTIVE

By Bill "Midas" Murphy www.lemetropolecafe.com

Friday, October 15, 1999

This past week I told you that some of the major gold producers had
agreed to an unwritten, but formal agreement, to cut their gold
production, a la OPEC. My information came to me from the best of
sources in the gold producer community.

I just received this email from GATA Treasurer, Chris Powell. It
quotes an a usually informed source who posts on the Interet:

"It's illegal to form cartels in America. The government prohibits
any such organization. But outside America, it's perfectly legal.
Just take a look at OPEC.

"Since the British gold sale, South Africa got real angry and, led by
Anglogold, it has been pushing full- steam into creating an
international gold cartel made up of non-USA gold producers.

"The rumor buzzing out of London tonight is that an agreement has
been reached and will be announced at a big press conference soon.

I also have reported that there are rifts in the World Gold Council.
This explains the rift. The overly hedged shorts do not care for a
cut in production; their shares will not perform well if the gold
price explodes. This also explains why Gold Field Ltd. announced
today that it has now covered most of its hedges.

Chris Thompson of Gold Fields and Bobby Godsell of Anglogold have
been the powerhouses on behalf of gold. They are standing up to the
Hannibal Cannibals and are quietly changing the gold world in behalf
of their companies and the gold industry. Gold shareholders, they are
your angels. They should be applauded.

Carpe diem is in. Hannibal Lecter is out.

By now you all know that the U.S. Producer Price Index figures
released today were far more bullish for gold than anyone imagined.
The dollar was beat up and the equity markets were trounced around
the world, yet gold was allowed to rally only $2 by certain malign
forces. If that did not hit you over the head today about what we are
dealing with, get a checkup with a top brain surgeon.

Our camp has been victimized far too long. I would like to echo our
sentiments:

WE ARE MAD AS HELL AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.

The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee certainly will not stand for the
government bailout of the cartel that has ruined so many companies,
shareholders, and miners to suit its own greed.

At 7:50 a.m. Central Daylight Time on Sunday morning GATA and the
"right flank" will make an important announcement to every gold
company shareholder in the world.
